International Translation Day
September 30

A story written in one language can find a reader in another.

A poem can cross a border.

An idea can travel around the world.

International Translation Day celebrates the people who help make that possible.

For writers, translation is a reminder that a good story can reach far beyond its original page.

🎸 Born September 27, 1943

Randy Bachman has been part of the Canadian music scene for decades, from The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive to his work as a songwriter, guitarist and producer.

His songs have become part of the Canadian soundtrack, and his guitar playing helped shape the sound of rock music in this country.

Music like this is also a reminder that the songs we grow up with, listen to and enjoy have a place on the stage. The Toronto Kiwanis Festival offers Popular Music classes, giving students the opportunity to perform music from contemporary artists and popular styles.

Today is a good day to turn up the music and revisit a few favourites. 🎶
Happy birthday, Randy Bachman!

Learning music takes time. A new piece, a tricky passage or a new technique may take a few tries before it starts to click.

That’s where your teacher can help. Listen, ask questions, slow things down, work through the difficult spots and try again.

Small steps, regular practice and a little patience can make a big difference.

And sometimes, your teacher really does know best. 🎵

September 25 | National One-Hit Wonder Day

ONE SONG.
ONE MOMENT.
STILL STUCK IN YOUR HEAD.

Today is National One-Hit Wonder Day.

From the opening notes to the lyrics you somehow still remember years later, some songs leave a lasting impression.

What’s your favourite one-hit wonder?

SEPTEMBER 21 🎶

There are 365 days in a year.

But only one date has its own soundtrack.

🌎 Earth
💨 Wind
🔥 Fire
🎶 Music

September 21 is Earth, Wind & Fire Day, inspired by the date at the heart of the band's iconic song, September.

And honestly, this is your sign to put the song on.

Loud enough to dance to.
Good enough to sing along to.
Timeless enough that someone in the next room probably knows every word.

What song instantly takes you back to a great memory?
